1981 Spaceport News Summary Final 1981 Spaceport News Summary Updates From Previous Summaries And Else Following up from the 1980 Spaceport News Summary and the puzzle question about the Saturn V damper arm, Alan Littlefield provided the following: “I can’t recall who told me (one of the old Apollo guys), but the short answer was that the original damper proved ineffective and a new damper was designed for the forward attach point. I suspect the lower point ended up at a node.” Thanks a bunch Alan! Following up from the 1980 Spaceport News Summary, since the SRB recovery ships were mentioned and shown in tht Summary, here is it what happened to Freedom Star and Liberty Star after the Shuttle Program. From Wikipedia, “…On August 21, 2012, NASA agreed to transfer the Liberty Star to the U.S. Department of Transportation for use as a training vessel at the United States Merchant Marine Academy. The ship arrived at Kings Point, New York, on September 13, 2012, with formal turnover occurring on September 14. After being refit for training duty, which included additional berthing, she was renamed TV Kings Pointer, the fifth vessel of the Academy to carry that name. The transfer agreement stipulated that NASA could again use the vessel on future missions if she was available.” From Wikipedia, “…On September 28, 2012, Freedom Star was transferred to the U.S. Department of Transportation's James River Reserve Fleet for potential use as a training vessel.” From the Searfarers International Union website, “The SIU-affiliated Paul Hall Center for Maritime Training and Education (PHC) has a new training vessel. She is the…” United States Naval Ship “…USNS Freedom Star, a National Defense Reserve Fleet vessel on loan from the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD)… …The Freedom Star was built in 1981 by Atlantic Marine Shipyard, Fort George Island, Florida and was delivered as UTC Freedom. Her virtually identical sister ship (also owned by MARAD), the MV Liberty Star, was built in 1980 by the same manufacturer and was delivered as the UTC Liberty…”. From the United Stated Merchant Marine Academy website, “…The United States Maritime Administration acquired both vessels in and around 2012 and re-assigned them as training vessels. Kings Pointer (formally Liberty Star) finished her conversions and arrived at the Academy in 2013 time frame. Freedom Star still maintains her original name and is the training vessel at the Seafarers International Union training school in Piney Point MD…” Page 1 Freedom Star, Post Shuttle Kings Pointer From The January 2, 1981, Spaceport News The headline is “Shuttle Moved To Pad 39-A”. Part of the article reads “The countdown has truly begun. Beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, the ticking away of seconds until first launch of the revolutionary Space Shuttle became almost audible. At that moment, the STS-1 stack began its movement from the V AB to launch pad 39A… …At a ceremony to observe the rollout, about 5,000 visitors heard Center Director Dick Smith, prime crewmembers John Young and Bob Crippen and other dignitaries praised the efforts of all involved with the Space Shuttle program. Also present for the ceremony Page 2 were former KSC Directors Kurt Debus and Lee Scherer, several political figures and nearly 200 reporters from all over the globe…” Also in this issue; “First Shuttle-carried Experiments Will Study ·Earth”. In part, the article reads “What minerals lie undetected beneath the earth's crust and where are they? How dense is carbon monoxide in the troposphere?... ... Scientists hope to find ways to answer these questions with five of the six experiments aboard the second Space Shuttle mission. The experiments are part of a payload sponsored by the Office of Space and Terrestrial Applications (OSTA). Most of them will be aboard a "pallet" tucked away in the Orbiter's cargo bay… …The experiment pallet, recently moved to the first cargo test stand at Kennedy Space Center, will now undergo final checkout and precargo systems integration. The caption for the following photo is “The OSTA experiment pallet is checked in a mockup of the orbiter cargo bay within the Operations and Checkout Building.” Page 3 More in this issue; “Work Begins On Light Tank”. A portion of the articles reads “Assembly of the Space Shuttle's first lightweight external propellant tank began in November at the Marshall Space Flight Center's Michaud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, La… …The first lightweight tank is expected to be completed and ready for delivery in the summer of 1982, in time to support the Space Shuttle's fifth launch. The modified tank will be 6,000 pounds lighter than its predecessor, and will therefore increase the Shuttle's payload-carrying capability by about the same amount… …To accomplish this weight reduction, the External Tank has been redesigned to incorporate the results of a recently completed structural test program. The program showed that it is possible to reduce the thickness of many of the aluminum skin panels without affecting the integrity of the tank….” And another article; “Mobile Cargo Home Tested”. In part, the article reads “…Looking very strange indeed, the space age canister actually is a moveable home for payloads and is also a painstakingly engineered airtight container that precisely duplicates the interior dimensions of the orbiter's cargo bay. It provides the clean environment necessary while orbiter payloads are being moved around the space center. Horizontal Page 4 payloads, for example, are verified in the Operations and Checkout Building, then are moved to the Orbiter Processing Facility for installation. Vertical payloads, verified at the Vertical Processing Facility, must be moved to the launch pad for installation via the Rotating Service Structure…” “PAYLOAD CANISTER is transported out of VAB (left) to Pad A, where it underwent tests (right)” The following, also in this issue, is a neat photo of Bob Crippen in the White Room in the VAB; the lesser known of the White Rooms, versus the one at the Pad. Page 5 “Astronaut Bob Crippen, prime crew pilot for the first Space Shuttle mission, enters the orbiter Columbia during Shuttle Integrated Tests in the Vehicle Assembly Building. The tests were conducted before the rollout to the pad, and included four simulated space missions.” And finally in this issue; “Smith Hosts Noel Coffee”. This is the first time I recall seeing this feature in the Spaceport News. Looks like this tradition started in December 1979 according to the article! In part, the article reads “Many KSC employees took time a week before Christmas to share a little holiday cheer with Center Director Richard Smith and his staff. About 1,500 people attended one of three coffees held in the Headquarters Building, Operations and Checkout Building or Launch Control Center lobbies… … The custom for the get together was started last year, and was so warmly received that this year invitations also were extended to the 700 KSC retirees from the area…” Page 6 “Center Director Richard G. Smith (center) greets friends at a Christmas Coffee in the Mission Briefing Room of the O&C.” The January 16, 1981, Spaceport News This is the headline; “Plugs Pulled' During On-pad Power Test”. In part, the article reads “After more than 40 hours of tests and preparations, the spaceship's systems were operating independently, the umbilicals had been dropped, the astronauts were in their seats, and the launch command was initiated… …The GOX (gaseous oxygen) vent arm was retracted two minutes and 50 seconds before T-0 (simulated take-off). A T-0, tail service masts on both sides of the orbiter, that carry outside supplies of hydrogen, oxygen and other services, were disconnected. And, at the same time, the arm that collects vented hydrogen and transfers it harmlessly to the burning pond was disconnected… …Umbilicals tying the spaceship to ground services were disconnected through a combination of ground pyrotechnics and mechanical eject devices. The test was termed a “complete success”… The following photo was also on the first page. The caption for the photo reads “TECHNICIANS INSTALL elements of the Columbia's avionics system shortly after the Space Shuttle's move to the pad.” The photo in itself is rather interesting as it shows workers at the Orbiter 50-1 door, with a temporary access board on top of the LH2 TSM. Page 7 Normal access to the 50-1 door is through the Rotating Service Structure (RSS), which is not extended in the photo. Does anyone know what is going on in this photo, as in, why is access to the Orbiter being done this way rather than via the RSS? Also in this issue; “Shuttle Flight Crews Briefed On Slide To Safety”. A portion of the article reads “Both the primary and backup astronaut crews for the first Space Shuttle flight got some valuable experience at the pad here last week. The four, plus other astronauts and some ground support personnel, were briefed on the use of the emergency pad escape system, known as the "slidewire.”… Page 8 “ASTRONAUT JOHN YOUNG climbs into slidewire basket, joining Shuttle pilot Bob Crippen during emergency egress training.” And one last article in this issue; “Holiday Visitors Crowd Center”. In part, the article reads “…On Dec. 29, the day STS-1 (Columbia) took its slow but majestic crawl to the pad, an estimated 20,376 people crowded through the Visitors Center. That was 4,000 more than the previous high mark set in the Christmas season of 1972. The next day promptly became the second highest day on record, with an attendance figure of 18,255…”. This photo accompanied the article, with lots of vehicles at the Visitors Center! Page 9 From The February 13, 1981, Spaceport News The headline article is “Shuttle Prepared For Flight Readiness Test”.

    TABLE 1 GEOLOGIC FIELD-TRAINING OF NASA ASTRONAUTS BETWEEN JANUARY 1963 AND NOVEMBER 1972 The following is a year-by-year listing of the astronaut geologic field training trips planned and led by personnel from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Branches of Astrogeology and Surface Planetary Exploration, in collaboration with the Geology Group at the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas at the request of NASA between January 1963 and November 1972. Regional geologic experts from the U.S. Geological Survey and other governmental organizations and universities s also played vital roles in these exercises. [The early training (between 1963 and 1967) involved a rather large contingent of astronauts from NASA groups 1, 2, and 3. For another listing of the astronaut geologic training trips and exercises, including all attending and the general purposed of the exercise, the reader is referred to the following website containing a contribution by William Phinney (Phinney, book submitted to NASA/JSC; also http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/ap-geotrips.pdf).] 1963 16-18 January 1963: Meteor Crater and San Francisco Volcanic Field near Flagstaff, Arizona (9 astronauts). Among the nine astronaut trainees in Flagstaff for that initial astronaut geologic training exercise was Neil Armstrong--who would become the first man to step foot on the Moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission in July 1969! The other astronauts present included Frank Borman (Apollo 8), Charles "Pete" Conrad (Apollo 12), James Lovell (Apollo 8 and the near-tragic Apollo 13), James McDivitt, Elliot See (killed later in a plane crash), Thomas Stafford (Apollo 10), Edward White (later killed in the tragic Apollo 1 fire at Cape Canaveral), and John Young (Apollo 16).

  • Nasa X-15 Program
    5 24,132 6 9 NASA X-15 PROGRAM By: T.D. Barnes - NASA Contractor - 1960s NASA contractors for the X-15 program were Bendix Field Engineering followed by Unitec, Inc. The NASA High Range Tracking stations were located at Ely and Beatty Nevada with main control being at Dryden/Edwards AFB in California. Personnel at the tracking stations consisted of a Station Manager, a Technical Advisor, and field engineers for the Mod-2 Radar, Data Transmission System, Communications, Telemetry, and Plant Maintenance/Generators. NASA had a site monitor at each tracking station to monitor our contractor operations. Though supporting flights of the X-15 was their main objective, they also participated in flights of the XB-70, the three Lifting Bodies, experimental Lunar Landing vehicles, and an occasional A-12/YF-12/SR-71 Blackbird flight. On mission days a NASA van picked up each member of the crew at their residence for the 4:20 a.m. trip to the tracking station 18 miles North of Beatty on the Tonopah Highway. Upon arrival each performed preflight calibrations and setup of their various systems. The liftoff of the B-52, with the X-15 tucked beneath its wing, seldom occurred after 9:00 a.m. due to the heat effect of the Mojave Desert making it difficult for the planes to acquire altitude. At approximately 0800 hours two pilots from Dryden would proceed uprange to evaluate the condition of the dry lake beds in the event of an emergency landing of the X-15 (always buzzing our station on the way up and back).

  • Skylab: the Human Side of a Scientific Mission
    SKYLAB: THE HUMAN SIDE OF A SCIENTIFIC MISSION Michael P. Johnson, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: J. Todd Moye, Major Professor Alfred F. Hurley, Committee Member Adrian Lewis, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Johnson, Michael P. Skylab: The Human Side of a Scientific Mission. Master of Arts (History), May 2007, 115pp., 3 tables, references, 104 titles. This work attempts to focus on the human side of Skylab, America’s first space station, from 1973 to 1974. The thesis begins by showing some context for Skylab, especially in light of the Cold War and the “space race” between the United States and the Soviet Union. The development of the station, as well as the astronaut selection process, are traced from the beginnings of NASA. The focus then shifts to changes in NASA from the Apollo missions to Skylab, as well as training, before highlighting the three missions to the station. The work then attempts to show the significance of Skylab by focusing on the myriad of lessons that can be learned from it and applied to future programs. Copyright 2007 by Michael P. Johnson ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not be possible without the help of numerous people. I would like to begin, as always, by thanking my parents. You are a continuous source of help and guidance, and you have never doubted me. Of course I have to thank my brothers and sisters.
